We've appointed a new Strategic Land Director Designate

06 October 2024

Our Midlands and South Midlands teams have strengthened their Land teams with the promotion of a Strategic Land and Planning Manager to Strategic Land Director Designate.

Elizabeth Woods has been with our South Midlands team for eleven years, joining as Strategic Land and Planning Graduate in 2013 and progressing through various land and planning roles throughout her time at Persimmon.

Elizabeth’s new role will see her working across both the South Midlands and Midlands regions, working on the acquisition and development of strategic land across several counties, including Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire.

Commenting on her appointment, Elizabeth said “I’m delighted to have been promoted to Land Director Designate and I’m looking forward to a new challenge and playing my part in ensuring quality homes and infrastructure remain at the heart of what we do. My new role will involve working across a much wider geographic location and engaging with a number of new land promoters and local authorities to secure new strategic site for Persimmon to develop its communities. I’m excited to start this next step of my career.”

Russell Griffin, Managing Director at Persimmon Homes South Midlands, added “We’re delighted to promote Elizabeth to Land Director Designate. Her skills and experience have been a real asset to the South Midlands business and the Persimmon Group overall. With her promotion, this will only continue to be the case.”

Zac Hurst, Managing Director at Persimmon Homes Midlands, commented “We’re delighted to have Elizabeth on board as our Strategic Land Director Designate in the Midlands. Providing homes and infrastructure of outstanding quality is integral to what we do at Persimmon. Having Elizabeth as our Strategic Land Director Designate will help to strengthen that; ensuring that we continue to deliver the highest standards for customers, communities and stakeholders.”
